28 AMONG THE CELESTIALS. [CHAP. I.
almost black, and, judging from the crops,
must have been of surpassing richness. The
houses were all new, large, and well built, and
provisions could be obtained in plenty. After
rough travelling in uninhabited parts, one really
appreciates being amongst men again, and
seeing active life all round : and here, as
before, we were impressed by the vigour and
prosperity of these Chinese colonists breaking
through the forest. In Asia one sees plenty
of the old age-worn life, but on that continent
it is in but few places that one can see the
fresh young life of a colony pushing vigorously
ahead.
On August 12 we reached Kirin, and the
first round of our journey was completed.
Kirin is a town of from eighty to one hundred
thousand inhabitants, picturesquely situated
among wooded hills, on a bend of the
Sungari, here, only three hundred miles from
its source, a majestic stream a quarter of a mile
broad and twenty feet deep. But it rained
incessantly while we were there, and the filth
and smells of the place, increased in conse-
quence, prevented us from enjoying as we
should have done all its natural beauties.
